One Last Hope - Priscilla Hernandez

Hold on, little one

there is one last hope

waiting to be found

Yet it will escape again

like a frightened bird

at the faintest sound

So hold on, little one!

Just a flickering flame

that barely burns

too many breaths upon

one only candle

They all crave to find one

But it’s always out of reach

when we pursue it

drifting further

as we stand upon the fall

without one

One last hope

a snowdrop on my lips

melting with my breath

That one last hope

that never lasts too long

until it’s gone again

What would you do

for one last hope

when all is lost?

I’d do it all!

Just hold on, little one!

there is one last hope

waiting to be found

yet it will escape again

like a frightened bird

at the faintest sound

Hold on little one

if you stop looking

you will find it
